Islam: Wild Donkeys
“Behold, you have conceived and will bear a son, and you shall name him Ishmael. He will be a wild donkey of a man, and his hand will be against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him; he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.” -Genesis 16:11-12
Much More Than a Trend:
I recently shared the graphic below (Newborn Child Name Trends in Europe's Major Cities) on a social media platform. It indicates the explosive rise of the name “Muhammad” (and its variants) across Europe—now the most popular boys’ name in cities like London, Brussels, Oslo, and Amsterdam. The point: demographic reality is announcing what demographic denial refuses to see. Islam is not merely “immigrating”; it is conquering by birthrate, migration, and unrelenting ideological confidence. Maybe your response is, “So what?” It shouldn't be.
One commenter boldly pounced something like: “You forgot to mention that ‘Noah’ is actually more common in some places! You’re misleading people!”
Missing the forest for one tree is not an argument; it is blatant ignorance and intentional evasion. “Noah” is a biblical name long cherished by Jews and Christians alike. Its prevalence doesn't represent cultural collapse, terror, and chaos; quite the opposite. It harms no one. “Muhammad,” however, is the name of a 7th-century Arabian warlord, murderer, and pedophile who claimed divine sanction for practices the Bible reveals as abominations and crimes against God. The rise of that name is a cultural marker of implosion; it's not a neutral baby-naming trend.
Muhammad’s Career in His Own Sources:
Islamic sources (Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Ibn Hisham’s Sirat Rasul Allah, and Ibn Ishaq) unanimously record:
Muhammad personally led or ordered at least 27 military campaigns and dispatched over 60 additional raiding parties.
He owned, traded, and slept with slaves (Bukhari 5:59:637; Muslim 8:3329).
He consummated marriage with Aisha when she was 9 lunar years old (Bukhari 5:58:234; 7:62:64, 88).
He commanded the beating of women: “Hang up your whip where your wife can see it” (Abu Dawud 2142) and explicitly permitted striking wives (Qur’an 4:34).
He ordered the assassination of poets and critics (e.g., Ka’b bin al-Ashraf, Asma bint Marwan).
He approved the execution of every post-pubescent male of the Banu Qurayza tribe (700–900 men and boys beheaded in one day; women and children enslaved; Sirat Rasul Allah p. 464).
He declared perpetual war against non-Muslims until the entire world submits: “I have been ordered to fight the people until they say ‘There is no god but Allah’” (Bukhari 1:8:387; Muslim 1:30).
These are not “misinterpretations.” They are the Sunnah—the exemplary pattern every devout Muslim is commanded to emulate (Qur’an 33:21).
Violence and Subjugation Commanded:
The Qur’an and other Islamic sources unashamedly COMMAND violence, terror, murder, brutality, and ABSOLUTE conquest via immigration, infiltration, and subjugation.
2:191–193 – Kill unbelievers wherever you find them.
4:89 – If they turn away (from Islam), seize them and kill them wherever you find them.
8:12 – I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore, strike off their heads…
8:39 – Fight them until there is no more fitnah (the presence of kufr/disbelief or shirk /polytheism itself is labeled “fitnah,” and Muslims are COMMANDED to fight until that fitnah ceases—i.e., until Islam is supreme) and religion is for Allah alone.
9:5 – When the sacred months have passed, kill the polytheists wherever you find them…
9:29 – Fight those who do not believe… until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.
47:4 – When you meet the unbelievers, strike their necks…
Every atrocity committed today by ISIS, Boko Haram, Hamas, Al-Qaeda, or the Taliban is done in direct obedience to these texts and the example of Muhammad. The more seriously a Muslim takes the Qur’an and Hadith, the more dangerous he becomes to non-Muslims.
Christian Atrocities “in the Name of Christ”:
Yes, horrors have undoubtedly been committed by people who wore bore the LORD's name in emptiness: some actions within the Crusades, the Inquisition(s), witch burnings, and colonial abuses. But every single one of those acts was a direct violation of the explicit commands of Jesus Christ:
“Love your enemies, bless those who curse you” (Matt 5:44).
“Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword” (Matt 26:52).
“My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight” (John 18:36).
When a “Christian” kills for faith, they disobey Christ. When a Muslim kills for faith, they obey Muhammad and Allah. That is the unbridgeable chasm.
Can't We All Just Get Along?:
Some still ignorantly insist, “But most Muslims are peaceful!” Most Germans in the 1930s were not Nazi SS officers either. The issue is not the current temperament of the majority; it is the foundational texts and the example of the founder that determine what happens when the devout finally gain the upper hand. Christ Jesus, the Prince of Peace, is the hupogrammos (pattern and example), the life, humility, and obedient surrender to the Father's will that every Christian is called to exemplify in thought, word, and deed.
For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example (hupogrammos), that you should follow in His footsteps: -1 Peter 2:21
History is brutally clear: wherever Islam becomes demographically and politically dominant, non-Muslims are reduced to dhimmi status at best (the legal status of permanent, institutionalized humiliation and subjugation codified in the Qur’an, Hadith, and 1,400 years of sharia jurisprudence), or extermination at worst. There has never been a SINGLE exception in 1,400 years. Let that soak in just in case you're still foolishly wondering, “Can't we all just get along?”
Our Ministry Is Not Persuading Fools:
The Bible is mercilessly realistic about those who are wise in their own eyes:
“Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.” (Prov 26:4–5)
“Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.” (Prov 27:22)
“A scoffer does not love one who corrects him, Nor will he go to the wise.” (Prov 15:12)
“He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself, And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself. Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.” (Prov 9:7–8)
“Speak not in the hearing of a fool, For he will despise the wisdom of your words.” (Prov 23:9)
As ambassadors of Christ and the GOSPEL, we are not called to win internet debates with people who equate or compare the Prince of Peace (Jesus Christ) with a 7th-century caravan-raiding pedophile. We are not sent to convince those who have already hardened their hearts and seared their consciences against the evidence which God has made plain to them (Romans 1:18-21). Our commission is simpler and infinitely more glorious:
“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” (1 Peter 2:9)
We proclaim Christ crucified, risen, and returning for those eagerly awaiting Him—the only Savior, the only way, the only truth, the only life (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). We warn the perishing that God's divine and righteous wrath is coming. We plead with men, via the GOSPEL, to be reconciled to God (2 Cor 5:20).
“And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day has drawn near. So let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.” (Romans 13:11-14)
And there we leave the results—regeneration or rejection, sight or blindness, life or death—to the sovereign Holy Spirit who alone opens blind eyes and raises dead hearts (John 3:3–8; Ezek 36:26–27).
Islam will likely continue its advance until King Jesus returns to tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty (Rev 19:15). Until that Day, we do not wring our hands in fear; we lift them in worship and keep proclaiming the excellencies of the Lamb who was slain.
Make no mistake, Islam is no religion of peace. It is a world-devouring plague upon humanity of violence, murder, rape, pedophilia, horrors, terror, and atrocities. That is what it has always been... That is what it will always be. That's not my personal opinion; that is the testimony of both history and Scripture.
“Behold, you have conceived and will bear a son, and you shall name him Ishmael. He will be a wild donkey of a man, and his hand will be against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him; he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.” -Genesis 16:11-12
